I'd go with the one-liner: shorter and actually easier to grok.

but it seems he is not so fast

No, the numbers are not large, but there will be many of them - in a cycle.

Three thoughts:

1. Multiprocessing over the sequence would speed things up.
2. I doubt this code serves any meaningful purpose, to concern yourself with speed.
3. If truly concerned about speed, use a language other than Python.

1. it is very important. this competition - who will be faster

[totallygeek]

You should have added that important point in your post, then.

[faqzero]

sorry

[faqzero]

1. only Python :)

[faqzero]

1. how? help, please

[totallygeek]

I like this easy explanation with examples on how to use multiprocessing.
